The incorporation of livestock into alley farming systems, in which food or forage crops are grown between hedges of multipurpose trees that are regularly pruned for mulch and/or forage, has been studied for over 10 years in Africa. Prunings from leguminous trees such as Leucaena and gliricidia c...
A study was conducted at Fasola in southwest Nigeria to determine the best tree cutting scheme for forage production and the effects of hedge configurations on tree, grass and total forage productivity of 6-8 year-old leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala Lam. de Wit) and gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium ...

Cutting management of alley cropped leucaena/gliricidia - guinea grass mixtures for forage production in southwestern Nigeria
The profitabilities of three land use systems in the humid zone of southwest Nigeria are compared using a capital budgeting procedure combining on-station and on-farm experimental data. The systems are: non-alley farming with fallow; alley farming with fallow; and continous alley farming. The res...
